Although my father was a resident for less time than expected, his care and especially his end of life care was exceptional. He was treated with dignity and respect at all times, and the day and night staff did all they could to make my father as comfortable as possible. Maurice House, I am only sad my father was not there for long enough to appreciate all you have to offer.
it was our pleasure to be able to care for your father, he was a very special man. Thank you for your kind words, I will pass them onto the team
My husband and I visited our friend, and our first impression was WOW! Such a lovely, clean and welcoming care home. The staff were very kind and couldn't do enough for us. We were shown around and explained everything. Our friend's room was very cosy, and she settled in and felt comfortable very quickly. I do not have a bad word to say; in fact, I think your care home is incredible.
Thank you very much Susan for the kind review; its nice to know your friend has settled in well.
From the moment Mum was assessed to the moment Mum passed, every single person we dealt with was fantastic. We felt heard and cared for by every member of staff. Mum's palliative care was exemplary and she was made so welcome. She was kept clean and comfortable at what was a very difficult time for the family and Mum. They always had time for her and treated her with dignity and respect right to the end. The wonderful team laid her out beautifully. Thanks so much to one and all x
Thank you for the lovely review. I will pass this onto the team. Kindest Regards Tracy T
On arrival at Maurice House my father showed little or no interest with his surroundings or the wonderful social events that the home was offering. Roll on a few months, he loves living there, he has gained weight and looks amazing. He celebrated his 98th birthday recently and now joins in many of the social events and has been on day trips. I cannot express enough my deep gratitude to all the staff and volunteers who go above and beyond what I would have expected.
Thank you for such positive feedback - Its lovely to hear that your father has settled in and enjoying his life with us.
My sisters and I will always be grateful to two members of staff and all staff for the kindness,compassion, dignity they not only showed our dad but to us as well during his last hours.when you are in Maurice house you feel like you are part of a family, all staff are very caring and truly amazing.
Thank you for your lovely review, it was our pleasure. I will pass on your thanks to the team. Kind Regards
She loved music and being around people and the home provided her the chances to enjoy life to the end.
Would highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your words mean so much to our team and help us strive to deliver the best care for our residents.
The love and care Mum receives from all the staff is amazing and we appreciate them all so much.
Thank you for your kind words. I will make sure the team receives your lovely feedback. Kind Regards Tracy Tremble
It was outstanding that we were contacted beforehand and asked what she might like for her dinner (birthday meal) and the staff came up trumps! We never worry or wonder if my stepmother is being cared for properly because we know she is. Thank you.
Thank you for the lovely review. We are really pleased you all enjoyed the 90th birthday celebrations and your aunt enjoyed her special birthday lunch.
The staff at Maurice House did all they could to make my mum's final months as pleasant and dignified as possible.
We thank you for your review it was an honour to look after her
The staff did everything they could for my husband. It is a very lovely care home, with quite a lot going on. The staff are very friendly and very acting. After my husband passed he wasn't forgotten. There was a beautiful poppy wreath for his coffin and a service of remembrance for other people who passed. A tag was given to write a message on and put on a Christmas tree and kept for a while. The home is lovely with a big garden etc. I would recommend it to all who had been in forces (like he had been for 28 years).
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It was an honour to look after your husband. We are glad you were able to come to the Christmas remembrance as these services mean so much to us too.
We will be forever grateful that Dad was cared for so lovingly and with such dignity to the very end, even laying him out so graciously and respectfully for Mum to be able to say goodbye. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for the kind words in your review. It was an absolute honour to provide the care and support at this saddest of times for you and your family.
Firstly my brother spent his last period of life at this care home. His wife found life after his death a strain. Passing into this care home for respite couldn't keep her change back to life a secret.
Thank you for your kind review, it is lovely seeing how our residents flourish when moving into Maurice House.
They were even collected from home on the day and every step was dealt with compassionately and professionally.
Now nearly a year on my in-laws are settled and happy and are living their lives to the full with so many activities and excursions. It seems every day there is something new for them to experience.
All the staff are so caring and have deep bonds with all the residents.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of care home.
Our deepest thanks go to every member of staff at Maurice House and Maurice Lodge and also their dedicated team of volunteers.
Thank you so much for your very kind review. I will pass this on to all the team.
I find Maurice House home from home, a very happy atmosphere throughout the home with great facilities with wonderful large grounds to wander through. The home is exceptionally clean and the food is very yummy and plentiful and a good variety and a wonderful staff that make all this happen. Thank you all.
Thank you so much for your review I will pass your comments onto the staff.
I find the manager is kind, helpful, can't do enough to help you and the staff are very helpful. They go out of their way to help in every way. So kind and I am very pleased I have got my brother into Maurice House, it is very nice and my brother loves it there and that's all I want. Him to be happy.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. I am pleased your brother has settled so well and is happy.
My husband has received excellent care at Maurice House. The staff are caring and friendly.
Thank you for your lovely review. I will pass your comments onto the team.
During our visit the housekeeper was cleaning the resident's hub, she was very thorough and polite when cleaning around people.
The care home seems to be very professionally staffed and managed.
Thank you for your kind review. I will pass your comments onto the team
I can not recommend Maurice House enough. All the staff are first-class and you can tell that they all enjoy working there. You are treated to a smile from when you walk into the building until you leave. You can not pick one person who is the best as everyone is so good. Activities, food, care, rooms, facilities, cleanliness and security are second to none. Thank you!
Thank you so much for such lovely comments. We will pass on your review to everyone and you are absolutely right we love working with our lovely residents and families at Maurice House and Lodge.
I cannot fault this care home in any way. I am so pleased with the care my wife receives.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It is lovely to have your wife and family as part of our Maurice House family.
From day one we have had nothing but brilliant care. Popped in today to see him and the girls could not do enough for him. They are all so lovely and caring.
If we have any concerns they deal with them straight away.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is our pleasure to look after your dad. I will pass on your kind words to the whole team.
